just.add(eggs) v2 notes


Now that the Game Jam is over, I wanted to make some changes, with a focus on a better player experience. Thank you so much to everyone who played the game and gave feedback! Here's what has changed:

Tick boxes next to instructions

In the bottom left is an instructions panels and I have now added a tick box next to each step, that will automatically tick once the player completed it. This will hopefully help guide the player in the right direction

Text input graphics made nicer
On the right hand side of the screen is where the player enters their commands and sees console output. Previously, this was just a plain grey rectangle, but I have added a gradient to the background and also added another rectangle to highlight the typing area, I think this ended up looking really nice!

Hovering over objects in the kitchen enlarges sprite slightly

This hopefully shows that the items can be clicked, listing their commands.

Text Parser

The text parser now accepts commands with a space on the end of them.

Kitchen area

Added more stuff to the ingame corkboard. I am considering adding stuff like rain and day/night cycle changes in future, just to make the world feel less static.

Help command

As I explained previously, the help command was debug text I had left in For now, it's been replaced with a copy of the message you recieve when you first start the game. My intention is to replace this with something better in future, if I get round to it.
